</div>

i got this error

```auto

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 6: ';' expected
     		percentLoaded=Math.round((_root.getBytesLoaded)))

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 7: ';' expected
     		/(_root.getBytesTotal()) * 100)

```

when i put this code in

```auto

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (_root.getBytesLoaded() == _root.getBytesTotal()) {
		gotoAndStop(2);
	} else {
		_root.stop()
		percentLoaded=Math.round((_root.getBytesLoaded)))
		/(_root.getBytesTotal()) * 100)
		loadedFile = "File is" + percentLoaded + "% loaded"
}

```

help would be greatly appreciated

no line break between 6 and 7 … and put a “;” at the end of your lines.

</div>

now i get this error

```auto

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 7: ';' expected
     	percentLoaded=Math.round((_root.getbytesLoaded)))/(_root.getBytesTotal()) * 100);

```

i don’t get it … did i put the ; in the wrong place?

semi-colon’s fine but your brackets are all screwy

```auto

percentLoaded=Math.round(_root.getbytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal() * 100);

```
